Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

Hyperpigmentation needs to be treated with a skin lightening cream containing one or more of the following agents e.g kojic acid, glycolic acid, hydroquinone etc.

Apart from this you need to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers both UVA and UVB protection through out the day.

Retin -A contains topical tretinoin which is an effective comedolytic and may cause skin peeling and redness. You should use it sparingly, once daily at night or on alternate nights.
